The Righteous Brothers

Songwriter: Billy Rose Edward Eliscu Vincent Youmans

Producer: Bill Medley

Without a song the day would never end
Without a song the road would never bend
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song

That field of corn would never see a plow
That field of corn would be deserted now
A man is born but he ain't no good no how
Without a song

I've got my troubles and woe
But as sure as I know
The Jordan will roll
I'll get along as long as a song
Is strung in my soul!

I'll never know what makes the grass so tall
I'll never know what makes the rain to fall
I only know that there ain't no love at all

Without a song, without a song
Without a song, without a song
Without a song

The Righteous Brothers were a musical duo of Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield, hailing from Orange County, California. They were originally members of The Paramours but began performing as a duo in 1962 after breaking off from the group.

Their first hit track was “You’ve Lost That Lovin' Feelin” but they released many other hits during their career.

The duo was active through the 1960s and 70s, and after a long split, they reunited in 1981 and performed up until Hatfield’s death in 2003. In 2016, Medley reformed the group with Bucky Heard.
